They Called Her A Traitor
Céline Dion first received a Grammy award in 1991 for her hit song “Beauty and the Beast”. The song’s popularity enabled her to break through the international market. However, this also caused anger amongst her French-Canadian fan base. Her Quebecois fans felt that they were being neglected after she gained international success. As a result, Céline refused to receive the English Artist of the Year award to emphasize that she was French and not English.
Celine Wasn’t Planned
Saying that Céline came from a big family might be an understatement. She is, in fact, the youngest of 14 siblings! Although her parents didn’t plan on having more than 13 children due to financial difficulties, fate had willed Céline’s birth. Her parents had no choice but to let her sleep in a cabinet drawer as a baby since they had no more beds. Céline’s life made a 180° turn, don’t you think?
